Negotiations Launched
Formal trade talks begin in Canberra focusing on market access and IP.
After eight years of complex negotiations, the European Union and Australia have signed a landmark free trade agreement aimed at eliminating regulatory barriers. The deal is set to streamline market access for European biologics while securing critical mineral supply chains essential for advanced medical manufacturing.
The pharmaceutical industry is navigating a historic shift as the FDA Modernization Act 2.0 removes the mandate for animal testing in drug development. However, while technologies like organ-on-a-chip and AI offer higher human predictivity, they currently lack the systemic complexity required to fully replace animal models in late-stage safety assessments.
